I've felt it in my soul ever since I saw the last fight sequence in the last Matrix movie. The current piece of trash they are coming out with is called Unlimited or Un-something which to me leaves it open for a complete reboot in the future by someone who knows what they are doing. <BR/><BR/>I'll still see it though.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and you forgot to mention Memoirs of a Geisha which DIDN'T INCLUDE A SINGLE FUCKING JAPANESE ACTRESS. To me, that was more insulting than anything else hollywood has done as far as Japan related movies are concerned.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249329919688653405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989659.post-63611250858747539952008-12-16T11:44:00.000+09:002008-12-16T11:44:00.000+09:00I think what makes the real uphill battle for this...I think what makes the real uphill battle for this one is replacing Mr. Miyagi - his moral quips are what makes the original still worth watching to this day more than anything else... the cheesy 80's soundtrack is just icing. I seriously doubt they can find anyone to do the job as well as Pat Morita did, whether they're Chinese, Japanese descent or whatever.<BR/><BR/>The location... well I think what's telling is the part about them making this a joint production with a Chinese production team, which means they're going for the choreography, which to me is stupid for the reasons you talk about - it's a basic story about a kid finding himself, not Jet Li vs. Jackie Chan.<BR/><BR/>And wow... don't check the Dragonball previews unless you have tissues handy. It's a pretty frickin sad case.<BR/><BR/>Go Astroboy!Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672575871928854138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31989659.post-56275778058535437852008-12-16T07:04:00.000+09:002008-12-16T07:04:00.000+09:00Cool, Astroboy meets the new generation of kids! B...Cool, Astroboy meets the new generation of kids! But yeh, it's still too soon to try do a remake of karate kid. It's not like it's a story designed for souped up cg or other special effects, it's just a relationship between a teacher and a pupil who is trying to find his inner strength.. But if they are naming the movie "the Karate Kid", I'll be wincing. <BR/><BR/>Why couldn't they place it in Japan or another country where it's more likely to take place? Then again maybe the fact that it's unlikely to find "karate" in China, that the story will find its twist? Unlikely is rightguchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496073190294088305noreply@blogger.com
